ActivePython does not install itself as the default Python because there
are system-level tools that may depend on Python 1.5.2 idiosyncracies
(including fixed bugs). You can invoke ActivePython like this:

$ /usr/local/ActivePython-2.0/bin/python
ActivePython 2.0, build 202 (ActiveState Tool Corp.)
based on Python 2.0 (#1, Oct 19 2000, 12:50:07)
[GCC 2.95.1 19990816 (release)] on sunos5
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

If you want ActivePython to be your default Python, you can make a
symlink to it in /usr/bin so that when you type "python" you will get
ActivePython. You could also use a shell alias.
